    Check this website out www.vistadex.com.ar
    The name, the template, everything is identical to my directory at www.vistadex.com

    What kind of a low life looser would do that.

    That is a tad cheeky isnt it... although so saying isnt that a free template? that aside he's obviously taken your site name as well which is a little annoying.

    Alive directory have the same thing... www.alivedirectory.com (original) - www.alive-directory.com (loser). So does Aviva... www.avivadirectory.com (original) - www.aviva-directory.com (loser).

    At the end of the day theres not that much you can do about it, unless of course you have a legal registered right to 'vistadex' - my advice would be to get a custom designed template made, something he can't really steal. That way theres less chance of him copying you...

    You might even be able to contact the host and get the site taken down because it is basically a complete rip of your site... appart from the design of the logo...

    Best of luck...

    I cant really get a new design made because that directory is a demo of that template.

    I guess I'll just ignore it, but we'll all know, that guy is a ponzi.

    It's really cheating One should not do like this one must put his/her time and should mug up their mind to develop something new and different instead of copying others dear I can understand your pain....People out there are requested not to do something like this...

    You would be a very good phishing scam target... if you would only hold your mouse arrow on top of what you are clicking you would see that the target address is not same as anchor text ;)

    Copy and paste this to your browser, maybe this will help: www.vistadex.com.ar

    Wow aspidov, it hurts me bad for you but, it seems that guy also copied my red lava template and created a fake ww w.redlavadirectory.com.ar using my template without having a link back :mad:

    What's wrong with those people using copyrighted content not properly, jeez..
    And while talking about it, there is someone that created an esyndicat template with my red lava design, all info there:

    I think we can caught him off guard

    Since what he is doing is illegal we should also follow illegal means to close down his directory

    That is he displays Google adsense ads

    Then we can all join and together click the ads on his website and make him banned from adsense!

    I think this is the only way we can teach a good lesson to him

    or we can simply email him threatening that we will email to google to ban your site or ban you from google adsense (just Fooling him)
